RE: IML: Imperial names

[henry ford <fordsfairlane@xxxxxxxxx>]

I was always fond of big ships as a kidd and I gues I never grew out of dreaming to owning an old pirates ship and sailing the sea. but as with the name of a ship on my imperial  I can sail the open roads. the story behind me thinking of nautilus was a few days after I bought the 59 imp I walked into autozone and was asking for any parts they have for the 59 imperial, and the guy at autozone said there is no such thing . he thought I was pulling his leg, because I used to make up stuff in my past and I would get a kick out of watching them go crazy trying to find the parts that didn't exist . so I then showed them pictures of the car and they seemed like they belived me, but they still thought I was pulling some sort of gag on them,  but after I left autozone and went to NAPA " the napa in my town had merged with a local machine shop. so I wanted to see if they would rebuild the engine and other parts for my car, as I talked to jimmy at napa, a friend of mine, I told him about what had happened at auto zone , and he told me I should name the car the nautilus because of the jules vern novel. about a mythical ship/sub.that none could believe to exist. and that the name would fit well that the nautilus was supposedly been indestructible and had inventions that were unheard of for it's time. 

on another note. one of my kidds suggested a few names " he is into video games"

LANDBARGE - because it is the largest car he has ever seen. and the fact that the car is 4 ft longer than our pontoon boat that is 16 ft.

DOOMTRAIN.- from his final fantasy games. he thinks it is so cool he used to make train sounds while running through the house , yelling here comes the doomtrain.

and my other son suggested I should name it VOYAGER. because of the cars tail fins and the rocket type tail lights.
